Fusion Outcomes of GLP-1 Agonist Therapy in Multilevel Cervical Spinal Fusion: A Propensity-Matched Analysis.

Study Design: Retrospective analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of GLP-1 agonist therapy upon the incidence of pseudarthrosis in patients undergoing multilevel cervical spinal fusion.

Summary Of Background Data: The rising prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus has rendered the usage of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1) agonists increasingly commonplace since their introduction in 2005.
